FAQ
Here are the answers to come of our frequently asked questions that we often get from brides.
If you have any other queries that arent included here, please just contact us!
Q. Do I need an appointment?
Yes, we operate by appointment only and due to the layout of our boutique, we do not allow browsing if an appointment is taking place. Please book ahead as Saturday’s are very busy, we recommend 2 to 4 weeks in advance for a weekend appointment.
Q. Who/what shall I bring with me to my appointment?
We see day in and day out that brides usually find their dress when they least expect to! So it’s important to bring along the people that matter in your life so they can be present when you experience that magical moment of you finding “the one”. It can be very overwhelming if you have too many opinions, so choose wisely and chat to your bridal party about your bridal style ahead of your appointment.
Q. When should I order my dress?
There is no set formula when ordering your dress it’s really about when you feel ready to say yes to the dress and you have finances in place this could be as early as 2 years before your wedding!
The average time for a bridal gowns to be made is six to nine months. As a bride, you need at least two fittings to make the dress perfect, so it is best to leave at least three months for alterations. For these two reasons, it is best to order your dress no later than twelve months before your wedding however don’t worry if your wedding is sooner than this (see the question below).
